One simple tip to help prevent the jamming of your zipper. Use a little paraffin, candle wax or a bar of soap from time to time to keep the zipper track lubricated and easier to use. These items also protect against rust.
One of the more simple ways to achieve this objective is to simply place your fingers from one hand on the zipper tab and your fingers from the other on the fabric. Gently tighten the fabric so there is no slack.
That situation is probably the most common fabric caught in the zipper problem. You are not paying attention to what you are doing or where your clothes are at and before you know it, your fabric is stopping the zipper from closing.

She sewed an infinity scarf with a pocket in it and it worked so well, she and her partner Randy decided to start selling them. Today all Speakeasy scarves feature a double-stitched pocket for maximum durability and have a hidden, self-locking zipper. There are light, airier scarves for spring and summer and cozy, heavier scarves for fall and winter.
Select a fabric that drapes well and feels nice as a scarf. Lightweight flannel, knits, rayon, and cotton are all good choices. It also helps if the fabric has a pattern, which conceals the extra stitching and zipper. Of course, you can use lighter fabrics for warmer weather scarves, but you should still make sure that it isn't sheer so that items show through the material.
Step 1: Cut 1 piece from the scarf pattern. Take care to arrange the pattern piece on a twice-folded piece of fabric, as described in the template PDF. (You should have 2 folds, and thus four layers of fabric. The unfolded piece looks like a long, skinny oval.)
To fix a separated zipper, you will need to clean the teeth of the zipper. Zipper build-up forms as a result of dirt, dust, or other substances that the zipper comes into contact with. After build-up forms, it keeps the zipper from staying together. To remove the build-up, combine soap and water in a small dish, and stir until you start to see suds form. Dip a clean rag into the soapy water and wipe down the zipper's teeth. Now, grab a fresh rag, run it under some clean water and wipe away the soapy residue from the zipper. The clean zipper should now stay together.
Most jeans, jackets and coats have zippers, as well as some shirts and sweaters, so these tips may come in handy. If you are wearing a jacket when its zipper gets stuck, remain calm and take the jacket off, over your head. This will prevent further damage caused by tugging on the zipper and accidental rips. Once you have the jacket off, you use the tips above to fix the stuck zipper. And, if you have a piece of clothing with a problematic zipper, try washing it. This will remove any dirt, grime, or other objects that may be keeping your zipper from closing.
To do this, pin the sides of the phone pocket together and stitch parallel lines on the fabric. Each line should start at the corner of the zipper and extend down halfway in between the window and the side of the scarf. End and backstitch neatly at the bottom of the pocket.
With any luck, it will be relatively simple to unstick a zipper after it gets caught. One of the best things to do first is to stop zipping as soon as it feels like something is getting stuck. Many times, the problem is that the inner lining of the garment has become caught in the zipper's teeth. If it is not too far in, simply tugging gently on the lining from the inside of the garment may be enough to dislodge it. In general, it is not a good idea to pull the zipper up or down, because doing either of those things could make the problem worse.
Soap worked on my purse. anon993972 January 3, 2016 I just rubbed pencil on a stuck LL Bean back pack zipper (stuck in the fabric), and it worked immediately. Amazing! Thank you! anon973318 October 10, 2014 I used needle nose pliers to pull out the cloth and rubbed soap directly on the zipper track to move a large heavy duty zipper on my large suitcase. It worked! Thanks. anon966773 August 21, 2014 Thank You very much for the advice. It worked after rubbing the zipper with a candle, but I used two pliers to pull it apart as this was a metal zipper on a denim jacket. anon960061 31 minutes ago My purse was so completely caught and it had my train ticket in it. I've tried everything, even cutting the material and all of the lubricants. It's caught on the material inside the purse and I've got several very strong people to pull it, but it seriously will not budge! anon948276 April 29, 2014 I can recommend washing up liquid on a stuck zip. I read your comments then applied the smallest dab and it worked in seconds. Thank you anon944442 21 hours ago My zip had a clever locking mechanism. When the tag was pulled down to open the zip, the lock was pulled away from the zip teeth. The problem I had was that the tag was worn and the locking mechanism wasn't unlocking properly. I resolved this by superglueing the locking part in the open position. anon943675 April 2, 2014 The cotton swab and liquid soap worked like a charm. Thank you. anon942936 March 30, 2014 A much simpler method which is worth trying. It involves simply pulling the jammed piece of material in the opposite direction while pulling the zip in the closing direction! anon942093 March 25, 2014 I used a combination of these suggestions with great success! I first rubbed soap along the exposed teeth and tried to wiggle the zipper a little. Then I used the needle nosed pliers and had my husband pull the zipper in the opposite direction. It felt as if we were going to rip the backpack apart but only the stuck zipper came apart. Finally! Thanks for the tips! anon940258 March 17, 2014 Wow! I haven't worn my favorite coat in weeks because the fabric was jammed so far in there! I just tried wetting a q-tip, rubbing it in a bar of soap, rubbing it over the top of the zipper (so the soapy water drips into the zipper) and it worked immediately! Thank you! anon323711 March 6, 2013 I had a stuck zipper on my new aldo boots, and I tried the soap method! It worked great! anon319836 February 15, 2013 I tried the pencil tip on my boot zipper and it worked perfectly! anon276230 June 22, 2012 I'm a teacher and zippers are constantly getting stuck! The pencil idea works well. anon276107 June 21, 2012 My purse zipper was stuck for days and I tried putting soap on it after reading through your suggestions and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much! anon275075 June 15, 2012 Thanks so much for the pencil trick! It worked like magic! anon262287 April 19, 2012 I had a piece of plastic stuck in my zipper. After tugging on it for a while, I rubbed the graphite from a pencil on it and then gently pulled it again and it worked. Thanks for the suggestion. anon238713 January 4, 2012 @anon174264: The needle nose pliers suggestion worked like a charm! Thank you for this brilliant solution! anon199689 July 24, 2011 Bee's Knees Zipper Wax works like a charm and gets stuff unstuck! anon179502 May 24, 2011 Dish washing liquid worked for me! Mine is a heavy-duty plastic zipper (of my diving equipment bag) that I haven't opened for years. I tried soap but couldn't reach the teeth. So, I put about four drops of dish washing liquid all round it and voila! anon178089 May 20, 2011 I was very skeptic about the pencil but still gave it a try because I was desperate. It worked! anon174297 May 10, 2011 yes. try wiggling it. It works! wiggle both sides of track. and unzip. wiggle again. and unzip. and there it is! anon174264 May 9, 2011 I had very tough, ballistic nylon briefcase with a huge metal zipper that got caught in the piece of ballistic nylon that normally lays over the zipped seam. Bar soap did not work. Liquid soap did not work - at first. Then I put needle-nose pliers (closed) into the "tunnel" created between the piece that had gotten caught and the rest of tunnel, and pushed. That created an outward force on the fabric, away from and perpendicular to the zipper line, which is something I could not do with my fingers alone. 10 seconds. Done. Thanks! anon170226 April 25, 2011 I have a northface backpack and the outside lining is caught in the zipper! I can't get the fabric out of the zipper! No matter how i gently tug the fabric it will not come out! I paid $140 for it and I really don't want to break it, any suggestions! Please anon159815 March 13, 2011 graphite worked straight away to a stuck zipper. great tip anon155725 February 24, 2011 The pencil method is amazing. I rate that. anon155166 February 22, 2011 Just used the pencil method on a stuck boot zipper that was driving me insane and it worked in less than 10 seconds! Thank you! anon154639 February 21, 2011 oh my goodness. bar soap worked like a charm. thank you. anon154180 February 20, 2011 Thank you so much! I had my bean bag stuck for a while and now i can finally open it again! Thank you, thank you. anon133938 December 12, 2010 What about a lace dress? there's nothing stuck in between but it's so hard to zip it up. anon130245 November 27, 2010 I used the bar soap method on the zipper of a new pair of boots. The zippers were getting stuck, but I could not find anything that was causing them to stick. Not caught on fabric, no broken tooth. I tried liquid soap, which did not work, but then I rubbed bar soap directly on the zippers. This worked immediately. I zipped them up and dow a few times to make sure it wasn't a temporary fix, and they slid perfectly. anon123442 November 1, 2010 Thank you very much for your tip regarding using liquid soap. My super-stuck zipper was plastic but the soap worked liked magic. anon93873 July 6, 2010 I just used liquid soap applied with a Q-tip to remove a piece of fabric stuck in a plastic suitcase zipper. Thank you for the tip! anon78676 April 19, 2010 i just tried the bar soap method and it worked! thank you thank you! anon77721 April 15, 2010 My wife's sari got stuck in the zipper of her coat and after reading the above article, I applied soap with a q-tip and it worked like a charm. Thank you. Vembar anon51216 November 4, 2009 what if the zipper is stuck without anything between its teeth? ellefagan October 23, 2009 Do not use wax, except as a last resort because it is so difficult to remove any wax that may get into the fabric, and it may leave a stain that won't budge, worse than the original zipper-sticking :-)Pencil graphite washes out easily enough *usually.* but not always, so think before you apply anything that might ruin the fabric.The first suggestions is best - always zip carefully, and if you can, remember to give a quick look to the zipper before zipping up to spot threads or fabric that may be an obstruction to the zip-up -- and if a zipper sticks, stopat the first hint of stuckness.And *gently* works best, to free fabric that caught in the zipper. Often it is just a loose thread from the seam that does it. Pulling hard at the thread or stuck fabric may seriously damage the garment or the zipper.And Anon4 is right about the difference in approach with a plastic or metal zipper.For metal zippers, as on jeans, one dot of liquid soap is nice and safe, worked in with a cotton swab or eyebrow brush. Anything more is likely to stain the fabric, and then you won't be able wear it that day, anyway.Go *gently* with plastic zippers and with all zippers when you try to unstuck them.If you pull hard at stuck zippers, you may succeed only in damaging the zipper unfixable. Then the zipper will need to be replaced, or the garment is ruined.Thanks for this "food for thought."elle anon49739 October 22, 2009 Lubricating a plastic jipper is not helpful; most zippers now are plastic rather than brass or metal. anon49569 October 21, 2009 Many pencils nowadays don't contain graphite. anon49567 October 21, 2009 putting it into vinegar won't harm the material?
